The introduction of the A19 across the board for the iPhone 17 range is promising. That said, Apple has an outstanding track record for delivering processors which are fast and reliable performers. So, whatever the name of the processor, it’s likely to be up to the task.

One of the biggest rumors is that Apple will be offering a full-screen display with the iPhone 20. A proper one, with no interruptions to speak of — no notches, no cutouts. The phone would feature just pure screen with all the important stuff hiding away under the surface, including the front camera.

While the Apple iPhone 17 line has not been officially announced, previous release patterns suggest a possible launch event in September 2025. Industry insiders believe that the iPhone 17 will come with a price tag of $799, with the iPhone 17 Pro coming in at $999, but official pricing information hasn’t been announced at the time of this writing.

Apple is reportedly building a more affordable, A18 Pro-powered MacBook slated to launch as early as this fall. Given that the entry-level MacBook Air M4 starts at a hefty $999, there’s still scope for a lower-end model that costs less. It would cater to budget-conscious customers whose workflows require more than just an iPad.

Apple will assemble the iPhone 17 simultaneously in India and China — a major shift from its earlier timeline strategy. Trial production in Tamil Nadu is already underway.

Apple is expected to follow its previous trend and announce the new iPhones the week after Labor Day, says Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Gurman observes in his subscriber Q&A that Apple always launches its new iPhones after Labor Day (the first Monday in September for those of us outside the U.S.). Typically, it's the week after, meaning the iPhone 17 series should appear between September 8th and September 12th.

Apple added support for non-WebKit browsers in iOS 17.4 to appease DMA rules that aim to prevent tech giants from disadvantaging third-party browser engines, but the OWA alleges that Apple’s restrictions mean it is “not in effective compliance with the DMA.”
